Everton have signed Australia international forward Holly McNamara – the Blues beating a wide range of top clubs across Europe and the USA to secure the services of the two-time A-League Golden Boot winner.

The highly-rated 23-year-old joins on a free transfer after her contract expired at Melbourne City, and becomes the Women’s team’s fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of forwards Noémie Mouchon and Hannah Cain, attacker Zara Kramžar and defender Hannah Blundell.

McNamara already boasts an impressive CV, being named A-League Women’s Young Player of the Year in 2022 before topping the scoring charts in consecutive seasons in 2024/25 and 2025/26.

Taking the coveted Everton No.9 shirt, the attacker also helped Australia claim a silver medal at the 2026 Asia Cup alongside compatriot and now Toffees teammate Clare Wheeler.

Having made the switch from Down Under, McNamara pinpointed Everton’s mix of history and ambition, and the chance to play in the Women’s Super League under Scott Phelan at Goodison Park as key factors to her decision to choose the Blues ahead of many other clubs.
